Is calling someone a cunt in the same vein as racial slurs?

Both are insults, though one has a much greater history of hate behind it than the other. Racial slurs will get a user perma banned pretty quickly. Calling a user a cunt will likely get the comment removed and a warning regarding the civility rules (assuming no other rule breaking occurred in the comment and this is the first time the user has been warned about it).
So short answer to your question, Yes and no. Both are however against the rules.
